We’ve all seen the cute R2D2 cupcakes and the impressive Tardis cakes, but what about the delicious-looking meals and beverages that are actually in the movies and television shows we love? From a sizzly and magical beverage to a meal fit for a Jedi, here are three easy recipes straight from science fiction and fantasy that will not only impress your friends, but make your taste buds sing!
####Butterbeer
Perhaps the most famous drink in all of nerd-dom, Butterbeer is a frothy treat enjoyed by wizards and witches in the “Harry Potter” series. While the best version of this drink can only be found in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, here’s an easy recipe for making your own Butterbeer at home. Your muggle friends will love you for it.
**Ingredients:**
– 2 liters of cream soda
– 1 tablespoon butter extract
– 1 teaspoon fine brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon rum extract
– Marshmallow creme
– 1 cup whipped cream
**Directions:**
Mix the cream soda, extracts and brown sugar together in a bowl, stirring swiftly. Mix the marshmallow creme and whipped cream in a blender. Pour the Butterbeer into a glass and top it off with the cream topping to taste.
####Rey’s Portions
Straight from “Star Wars” itself, Rey’s fascinating portion bread can actually exist in our galaxy! The “Star Wars” official site posted its own recipe a while back, but this recipe looks more like what we see in the movie. It takes a bit longer to make, but your friends will definitely be impressed and you’ll be ready to hunt for Luke Skywalker in no time at all.
**Ingredients:**
– 2 pounds ground pork
– 1 pound fresh kale
– ½ cup green onions
– 1 clove garlic
– 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
– Rye dinner rolls
**Directions:**
Put the pork, kale, garlic and parsley into a blender and blend until well-mixed. Shape the mix into small squares or cubes and then steam until cooked. Do NOT bake or fry them, or else you will lose the awesome green color. Serve with rye rolls and then go discover your Jedi destiny.
####Fish Fingers & Custard
Ah, yes, the meal that can draw tears from any fan of BBC’S “Doctor Who.” Fish fingers and custard is the first meal shared by Amy Pond and the Eleventh Doctor. And lo and behold, it is incredibly easy to make! Now, fish fingers and custard, literally, is kind of gross. But we’ve concocted a variation that is a little more appetizing while retaining the look of custard!
**Ingredients:**
Fishsticks (yes, this is a cop-out, but what college student has time to make them by scratch?)
– 1 cup mayonnaise with olive oil
– 1 ½ tablespoons yellow mustard
– 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
– 1 lemon
**Directions:**
Bake, fry or microwave whatever iteration of fish sticks you want. Mix the custard ingredients together until even, and enjoy!
